Help Me Plan My DREAM 10 Gallon!

I am estimating that I might be able to get my neons this weekend!
todays test results:

ammonia=0 (I just added more)

nitrite= .5

I did not test nitrate today.

I am estimating that tomorrow ammonia and nitrite will be 0 and then I will add ammonia one last time just to be sure and then Saturday if the ammonia and nitrites are both 0 I will do a BIG water change and then get my neons!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
 
Nitrite is still .5 but it has not been 24 hours yet since I added more ammonia so there is still a chance.

Because I am so close I want to finalize my plans.

Fish: 12 Neon tetras.

Snails ~5-5+ pond snails (came in on the plants and have survived thee cycle so far).

Food: HIKARI® FLAKE TROPICAL, but I would like to have a backup in case my LFS does not have HIKARI® FLAKE TROPICAL. Any ideas?


Stocking was determined using the stocking calculator mentioned earlier.
 
Neons are so trite and the currently available stock has tons of problems! I suggest another fish!

I happen to like the way they look and my LFS does not have very many options for schooling fish!

Sounds good!
 
My tank is finally cycled:D so today I did a few big water changes (the equivalent of about a 150% water change) to get the nitrate below 20 ppm and then I GOT MY NEON TETRAS:):):):):):D!!!!!!!

I acclimated the neons and they are now swimming around in a school and appear to be healthy!

Also the Legos that are in front of the filter outlet are to slow the flow for my neons.
